Once upon a time,
Hyrule's tranquility was shattered by the arrival of several disasters.
The calamities brought dark, ominous clouds that shut out the sun. Surprisingly,
a lone magician was to blame for the disasters. About the time when people
were losing all hope, the sun miraculously returned. Link, who was summoned
by Zelda to find the cause of the disasters, succeeded in defeating the
magician. The people of Hyrule rejoiced in the belief that eternal peace
would rule. Unfortunately, this was not to be. It became clear that the
magician responsible for the disasters was in fact controlled by the evil
sword known as the Soul Edge, which existed in an another world. Furthermore,
the fragments of the Soul Edge were gathering together in this other world.
Knowing that the resurrection of the evil blade must be prevented at all
costs, Link chose to travel to the other world and destroy the Soul Edge.
Link gathered his trusted Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and ocarina and
set off on a secret journey.

Comment:
I was as shocked
as anyone when I heard that everyone's favorite boy in tights made it to
Soul Calibur 2... Who would have thought? Link carries around an unrivaled
amount of nostalgia wherever he goes, and to see Namco bring him into their
hit fighting game series, Soul Calibur, and have him drawn in their style,
is a treat. Namco also did an excellent job of capturing a lot of his famous
movements for Soul Calibur 2 (his first real fighting game appearance)...
In other words, no I don't consider Super Smash Brothers a real
fighting game.
